Landworks Heavy Duty Eco-Friendly Electric Cordless Auger Power Head, w/Steel 6"x30" Earth Auger Lithium Ion Battery & Charger for Earth Burrowing/Drilling & Post Hole Digging (Earth Auger 6" Set)

I am amazed at how powerful this auger is! It s easily as good as the petrol one that I had previously but much lighter and easier to handle. The battery also lasts for ages. The only negative it the very high price, however it never needs petrol and has very few moving parts, so should be almost maintenance free. I highly recommend this item.

An impressive piece of kit which digs holes very quickly. Powerful enough to dig in heavy clay although you need to be fairly strong to hold onto it. More convenient than a petrol machine and the battery lasts well.

Great bit of kit

Very powerful. Its quite heavy and and kicks if it gets caught on a rock so extreme caution should be exercised by lighter users. It digs through soil and clay easily but the developers had dumped building rubble into thick clay on my property which made digging very difficult. Solidly built and the fact it is cordless makes it hassle free.

Digs out a two foot deep hole in seconds. Excellent tool, and highly recommend it. I put up a post and rail fence. Could not have managed it without this auger. Very safe being battery operated

Correspond à ce que je voulais.

L' ho comprato per mettere dei pali sul confine del mio terreno in campagna e devo dire che lavora benissimo. Anche la batteria ha una buona durata. A volte la trivella s' inceppa per fare il movimento inverso ma può darsi sia dovuto solo alla mia scarsa abilità con queste attrezzature.

This is my first auger for drilling fence posts. Benefits of this auger vs a 2-cycle gas-powered engine auger that I could see right from the start are:1) No tugging on a starter rope every time you want to run it! That was a huge plus for me because I tore some ligaments in my shoulder a while back and while it has mostly recovered, not having to pull on a starter rope is a huge plus for me and my shoulder. I have other 2-cycle engine items such as weed whackers, chain saws and the like and I know how finicky they can be, especially after they've been running for a while - once they warm up sometimes it seems like it's harder to get them running again.2) No hot exhaust to burn myself on or increase fire hazards.3) No need to buy premium fuel to avoid ethanol fuels!4) No need to buy another small gas can or mix 2-cycle engine oil.5) No need to winterize the auger, get it ready for the next season or put fuel stabilizers in it over the winter to keep the gas from going stale.6) No 2-cycle carb that either has to rebuilt or replaced even though the task is relatively simple enough, especially since you can generally buy a replacement prebuilt 2-cycle engine carburetor for less time and money than you'd spend cleaning and replacing the existing one. It seems to me that the carburetor on 2-cycle engines is kind of just a given, it's going to give you trouble, it's just a matter of when.7) If you get into a tight spot - you can reverse the auger spin direction and back out!8) I did the math: at a local home improvement store, they charge $75 per day or $300 per week with a $100 security deposit to rent a gas-powered auger. Our property is decent sized with almost an acre and fenceline surrounding all of it. The existing fenceline is aged and many of the posts that were placed by the previous occupants are just cedar, not pressure treated or anything, in particular, to resist the elements a little better, so I've had to replace quite a few fence posts around the property already to shore up leaning fenceline. I figured with the cost of rental and having to go pick it up and then bring it back to the rental place, this thing would pay for itself soon enough.So far I have drilled 5 post holes and planted 5 pressure treated 4x4 fence posts. I ran the holes a little more than 2' deep - probably around 26" because I like to put an inch or two of pea gravel at the bottom of the post hole to help with water drainage under the post because I like to mount my fence posts in concrete. In my mind, this will allow the post to "live" longer.The auger operates quietly and smoothly, it has enough power to get through some pretty solid earth with some decent sized rocks, although I did have to stop several times to dislodge rocks that were stubbornly lodged in the packed earth I was drilling into. I recommend having either a shovel designed for post holes or something like a "San Angelo Bar" handy when drilling post holes. When you encounter an obstacle such as a rock or tree or shrub root, you can make easier work of it and allow the auger to get back in action quicker.While operating the Landworks Earth Auger I thought about another benefit that I probably wouldn't have enjoyed had I been using a gas-powered auger. I realized that it was nice when I did encounter something that the auger needed to have taken out of its way so I could continue, that I could simply stop using the auger and place it aside either lay it down on the ground next to me or prop it up against something - without having to worry about gas, oil, fuels spilling, or hot engine parts touching the ground or nearby brush.Battery life seems to be acceptable - in drilling the 5 post holes that I did it took about 1/2 to 2/3rds of the battery life. Charging doesn't seem to take too long but they do not recommend leaving the battery on the charger overnight or after it's done charging. I would think for your average homeowner like myself this 2 amp hour battery is probably adequate although I can see that it would be nice to have another one to have to charge while you're using the other. Or many of the reviews I read stated that the 4 amp hour battery had good battery life and some of those reviewers were professionals of one sort or another.So far I am quite pleased with my purchase. I will keep this review updated since I have only owned this auger for a short period of time and only done a few post holes with it so far. All I can really say as a bottom line is that there are a lot of upsides to a battery-powered auger like this one, and if there are downsides, they're not coming to mind too quickly. I haven't used gas-powered augers much before except when I used to ice fish, but that's been quite some time and there aren't obstacles like rocks and roots that you encounter when you're drilling through ice. So as far as power goes, I don't have a lot to compare it with - all I can say is that it was acceptable for me and I was able to drill several nice 26-27" deep post holes with it so far.

Takes less than 5 seconds to dig a 12" deep hole in a compacted mix of dried soil and 2"-3" rocks.Fully satisfied.

Das Gerät wird ohne Adapter geliefert. Der Stecker zum Aufladen ist für Großbritannien. Ich habe dieses Gerät auf Lehmboden benutzt, schwer und mit Wurzeln. Sie müssen wissen, wie Sie dieses Gerät richtig verwenden, um zufrieden zu sein, und zwar: Drücken Sie die Schnecke nicht mit Gewalt in das Loch, da sie sich an den Wurzeln festsetzen kann und in diesem Fall sind die Oberseite des Geräts und unsere Arme, die sich drehen, da die Leistung und Drehen konstant und stark bleiben. Um dies zu vermeiden, lassen Sie den Daumen nicht auf dem Bediensperrknopf, so dass beim Loslassen des Bedienungsauslösers das Gerät schnell anhält. Wenn der Boden wie in meinem Fall zu trocken ist, geben Sie Wasser in das Loch wenn Sie sehen dass die Bohschnecke nicht mehr schneller tief geht. Die Anzahl der Löcher hängt von der Tiefe und dem Untergrund ab, aber ich kann sagen, dass ich erschöpft würde, dies zu tun, noch bevor der Akku entladen war. Ich bin nicht sehr stark und die höhe des Geräts halte ich fest, sollte die Bohrschnecke einen Stein oder eine Wurzel treffen. Geht man langsam ohne Gewalt, werden Wurzeln geschält. Ich habe ungefähr fünfzehn Löcher bis zu einem Viertel der Schnecke gebohrt, ohne dass der Strom ausfiel.
